Up in. Guelph the police magis- trate "soaked" a fellow $50 and costs fur having in his possession a copy of 'The Finished Mystery."

THE WOMAN SUFFERS, The women always suffer, the Montreal Star in recounting how some of that city's prominent young men escaped police court promin- ence as the result of an unsavory episode, while some equally as pro- minent young women of the metro- polis had to face the rude stares of the onlookers jn the court chamber And it will continue to be suppose, unfortunate and unfair as it is. Man has so long been looked upon in the 'light of an animal of the higher species 'and woman as go much above him in morals that more is expected of the higher type We still talk of a man's "better half," indicating the attributes of goodness and gentleness. Hence, when woman falls from her high es- tate the fall js greater than that of man. In the Orient and in Germany, man is looked upon -as above- wo- aman. The latter is his slave, but even as such she is. above him in the qualities of goodness. The animal nature of man is more apparent in the German, whose code permits him liberties that make the British- er stand aghast. It would appear that before men can be made to suf-| fer as greatly as women for moral lapses, they must firét be regarded as less animal-like. Whether bi- ology will acknowledge that this is really possible is a question for tho learned professors. says 80, wa NO RESTRICTION ON TOURISTS "The volume of tourist traffic from the United States this year has been considerably lessened by misleading press despatches appearing in Amer- ican and Canadian papers regarding the Canadian Registration Act. It was unwarrantably stated that visitors to, Canada from the United States would be compelled to re- gister at a post office before they could secure accommodalion at a hotel, that passports were absolutely necessary, and more recently the absurd rumor 'was widely circulated fhat women from the United States would not be allowed to return home. This latter ridiculous report js speci- fically denied by W. D. Scott, Super- intendent of Immigration, who offi- cially designated it as "absolutely without any foundation ip fact." Senator Gideon Robertson, a mem- ber of the Dominion Cabinet, and is equally positive in his denials of the other mischievous reports. The actual facts are, according to the of- ficial statement of the Registration Board, that the Registration Act ap- plits only to people ' permanently resident in Canéda and does not faffect even remotely anvone living in the United States; that no regis- tration at a 'post office 'is necessary, and.that no passports are required. The possession of papers showing the holders to be American citizens is all that is neceskary to cross into At the international boun- dary line the holders of these, papers are given an identification card by the Canadian immigration officials, wlich enables the visitors to travel freely Fnere they wish without any interference 'on the part of Cana- dian officials.
